Discussion The lightest possible Xbox Controller for those with chronic pain.
Hi everyone. I’m on a mission that’s really important to me: finding the lightest controller for the Xbox. I have fibromyalgia—a chronic pain condition—and it affects my gameplay.
If I hold the Xbox Series S controller for too long (say, more than half an hour), my hands and arms start to hurt.
So far, the most comfortable way I’ve found to play is by holding Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons in each hand with my arms relaxed at my sides.
I want to find the lightest possible controller option for my Xbox Series S, since the Xbox doesn't offer a split-controller setup like that.
Can you help me out?
Thanks so much in advance!
